The 22Q Texas Family Camp & Retreat

22Q Texas will host the 8th annual family camp/retreat on Nov. 3-5, 2017 at Camp For All in Burton, TX.

Today we invite you to help change lives by sponsoring a family. Your donation in any amount can sponsor a specific family you chose, or it can go to any family in need. Please help us make this weekend a reality for every person who wants to attend!

What makes this camp so special? We recognize that when one person faces a challenge it affects their whole family. Our retreat provides a safe environment for those with 22Q and the families who love them. It's often a life-changing weekend. For many it is the 1st time to meet another family affected by 22Q & they realize they are not alone.

Kids participate in fun, challenging activities, building independence & confidence by doing things they thought were impossible. Parents are empowered, educated and connected with a strong support system. Families bond together and leave with renewed strength and hope. But all of this can only happen with the loyal & generous support of friends like you.

The retreat regularly draws more than 100 attendees from Texas and beyond. Retreat expenses for 2017 are expected to exceed $20,000. Families attend at little or no cost, with all meals, lodging & activities provided. This year families will be asked to pay $50 per person to attend the retreat. While this is a small percentage of the actual cost, many families are unable to pay this on their own. Your donation today can make 22Q Texas family camp a reality for them! Thank you for supporting 22Q Texas and the families we serve!

22Q Texas/VCFS Texas Inc. is a 501c3 organization, run by volunteers whose families are affected by 22Q
